Kitchen islands love a pendant light - especially a linear one. Linear pendant lights are typically horizontal, narrow and long enough to span the length of the kitchen island. They can be very slim and minimal but they can also be interesting and beautiful. They're very good at 'coating' kitchen islands with light.
There are many options to choose from, and sometimes things like sky lights and slopes make choosing a pendant a bit tricky which is why it's a good idea to consider calling in a lighting expert to help you decide.

1. NL 12 Linear Pendant with staggered glass tubes and elegant hardware
|
|
NL 12 is a pendant light made of glass tubes bundled together, huddling around a hidden LED light source within, providing a deep, generous all-around glow that's glare-free and effective. The slim black hoops holding the glass tubes are inspired by gymnastic rings, perfectly poised, quiet strength. Furthermore, the black hoops conduct the electricity that powers the light source. The electrics are all tucked away out of sight. The glass tubes are adjustable, so you can arrange them in a pattern that feels right to you, either all lined up neat and flush at the ends, or staggered for a more natural feel.
2. Across Linear Pendant with adjustable arms and flexible mounting
 
|
The Across linear pendant light is aptly named, spanning across tricky ceilings and walls to find mounting solutions. The lower bar contains the light source, powerful (over 3000 Lumens) and dimmable (phase dim, easily done). The two arms angle as needed, so you can stretch the support cables where ever you find ceiling or wall space, fantastic when you have a ceiling obstruction above, like beams or sky lights. In fact, this pendant is so stylish and bright, you don't need a reason (or an obstruction) to enjoy its top class technology & strong geometrical impression. Comes in 2 lengths & 4 colours - Black, White, Green or Blue. You can even choose a white or black canopy (the power supply that goes on the ceiling/wall).
3. Compendium Linear Pendant with adjustable and joinable shade (to create a longer light)
|
|
Flexible, adjustable, neutral style, glare-free design, decent dimmable light output and well priced - the Compendium linear pendant light is one of my personal favourites. It's not that long and only comes in one length (157 cm Long) but it offers a clever join kit that allows you to link up a second pendant if longer length is required. Comes in three finishes: Black, Brass or Aluminium. Choose between a warm white (2700K) or brighter, whiter light (3000K). The canopy can be recessed for a clean ceiling effect.
4. Tube Linear (Horizontal) Pendant with glass tube, reflectors and mesh shields for the bulbs
|
|
This beautiful linear pendant, Tube Bulb Horizontal, is a combination of art and light. A high-quality glass tube contains an internal curved diffuser (available in gold or chrome) which houses the electrics as well as casts concentrated reflected light back onto the surface below. Furthermore, the bulbs are semi-encased in pleated mesh shades, taming glare. The mesh shades (which are optional and come in gold or silver) provide individual points of beauty, like miniature lampshades inside your linear light. How beautiful to be close to. Available in several lengths. Designed & made in Paris.
5. Aluet Linear Pendant with wooden shade and thick, brown fabric straps
|
|
The Aluet linear pendant light in Ash Wood is a refreshing change from mostly metal linear pendants on the market. The curved wood is both beautiful and practical - very easy to keep clean. This light isn't just a pretty face, it comes with powerful, glare-free dimmable LED lighting in two different versions - use the indirect only for most applications or opt for the indirect combined with direct lighting for more task work. The straps are brown specialist fabric, in keeping with the integrity of the wooden ethos. Can be combined to create a longer light.
6. Gallery Linear Pendant in either tumbled or patina hand-finished brass
|
|
The Gallery linear pendant light is such a beauty. The simplicity belies the complexity. This pendant is a gem for spaces where every single detail matters and natural brass is coveted. Handmade to high standards. The cables are straight and slim, the join is deliciously curved, convex and the body itself is tubular and simple. You can extend the length seamlessly thanks to a clever magnetic system, maintaining the extreme discipline that marks this timeless light. Choose between tumbled brass or patina brass, and surface mount or recessed canopies.
7. Highline Linear Pendant in hand-finished brass with optional walnut details
|
|
This super thin linear light is wildly popular around the world. There's a reason why the Highline linear pendant light is a global superstar - it's a designer's dream. Long, thin, elegant, this light never shouts. Made with natural, living materials such as brass and walnut which age over time, a testament to their quality. You can even choose the cable finish.
8. Highline Linear Pendant in black with optional walnut details
|
|
The Highline linear pendant light is so beautiful that I've included it twice - here again in black. The black and brass share the same body and optional handsome walnut detail on the end caps but the two different finishes make different impressions, the black being more modern and architectural (many pendants come in different finishes, if you see a light you like but want it in a different finish, give me a ring to see what's available!)
9. Morse Linear Pendant in black with adjustable spot lights
 
|
Morse adjustable linear pendant light is named after morse code. Change the lighting effect by swivelling the spot lights where you want them. The body is a simple black tube, that you can join up with more units to make it longer and suits a multitude of interior scheme. Point one light upwards to cast lovely light onto the ceiling, which creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This is a cool light.
10. Aro Linear Pendant in black with individually adjustable light discs
|
|
The Aro linear pendant light allows you to turn each individual shade as you wish. The one long arm adds a design detail that emphasises the masculine strength conveyed in this design. The shorter length means you have a good option for smaller kitchen islands. Choose between surface mount or recessed mounted canopies.
11. Org Linear Pendant with staggered tubes and gold caps
|
|
The Org linear pendant light fully embraces glamour and beauty. Long tubes of light with gold end caps at staggered lengths for an artful touch. Simple cables that don't distract from the centrepiece that this light is. Matching wall light for ultimate glamour. Comes in 3 lengths. Designed and made in Paris.
12. Moby Linear Pendant with fibreglass body with smooth curves and rough edge
|
|
Moby is a special pendant light, as much as a sculpture as its a functional light. The shade is handmade fibreglass with a rough edge and sensuous, generous curves. The tip can be hung straight or at an angle, offering design flexibility. This light cuts through space and expectation with grace and character. Available in two sizes. A personal favourite of mine.
